February 2021

 Note from the President of the FLCC.

Well, what can I say? Its been a while since the page has been updated. 11 months to be exact!! Our place to meet was shutdown middle of last March as well as the stay at home order. Since then a few of our members have communicated with Facebook and emails. One or more have a Blog page. Some have just posted photos in emails. I personally have done a few photo trips with other members occasionally. Always driving separate and wearing mask and social distancing as needed. They have been very rewarding. 

Hopefully with the vaccine being administered we will be able to return to some kind of normalcy soon. 

Stay healthy and safe.

Park and enter through the doors in the back of the building.

Starting at 6:30 pm and lasting till around 8:30. First meeting of the month is usually a learning night with members doing demonstrations or lessons  on or about editing and photo taking tips/ideas.

Second meeting is photo review of the photo categories listed below.

We will pickup where we left off on the list. So our next subject will be waterfalls and so on. We will pick and decide additional subjects to complete the meeting year once we resume meetings.

You do not need to be a member to attend.

You do need to be a member to enter photos in the monthly photo review. 

Competition subjects for the 2019-20 year.

Competition Criteria: You can enter photos in each  category:  

   Open, Subject, Nature, Modified, [Monochrome (black & white)], exhibition & cell phone

Any 'altered' photos should be entered in the Open or Modified categories. This does not mean normal post editing like exposure, contrast, shadow, highlight, tone, misc. This would be photos that are comprised of more than one or merged items, or extremely altered. 

We no longer have a monthly competition. It is a photo review by the club with  member suggestions and input. It allows members to see the creativeness of other members and to question and learn new Technics and methods of taking as well as editing their own photos. Members are ask to bring their photos on a thumb drive to the 2nd meeting of the month (3rd Thurs), they are loaded to the club laptop for viewing. Photos need to be grouped together by categories for ease of loading to computer. Each member is encouraged to elaborate on their photos but not required ( what inspired them to take the photo, where, when & how, any special editing or procedures used to take the photo). And ask for or share tips for improving their and others photos as well.
